He's the self-appointed expert on all things air service, but why folks consider him credible I'll never understand...
Like I said, I don't agree with some of his industry specific analysis, but in this case, his point of view was dead-on and accurate. However, it will be a cold day in hell before the news media picks up on his point of view and offers him as counterpoint to the 'ban everything' hoopla. His analysis fails to drum up the requisite fear and panic necessary to drive ratings and sales and keep the theater moving along.
